Thirty minutes to escape, before the night falls...
Their eyes are on you.
Their Eyes is a #short #horror game, chiseled in #retro style #pixelart and imbued in an unsettling #lovecraftian atmosphere, with an emphasis on #exploration, #lore, #action, and #survival.
It is meant to be played in a single session, lasting 15 to 30 minutes.
Expect secret areas and #multiple #endings, but be also prepared to die several times: it can be quite unforgiving at the beginning - or so they say.
Please take into account that this is my first attempt to game making: any constructive criticism will be therefore highly appreciated.
I started studying GML one year before releasing this game, with no prior experience in coding. Their Eyes was developed over five months of (pretty) hard work, and I'm still not 100% sure than every bug has been properly fixed. This is to say that any glitch/typo report will be also appreciated! :D
Thank you for your time! :)

The font used in the game is the beautiful m5x7 by Daniel Linssen.

IMPORTANT NOTE (Mac users only):
You may get an error message, claiming that the executable is damaged and cannot be opened. This is untrue, and can be easily solved just typing a single line of code in the terminal. Thank you for the patience! :)
(Also: if you have any idea on how to fix this, please let me know!)
